Stacking two 2x10 cabs vertically

[JonathanMc]

Hi,

Anyone have any experience stacking 2 2x10 cabinets vertically? I.e., each cab vertical, and stacked on each other? Is the configuration stable?

Thinking specifically of the Markbass Traveler 102P.

Thanks!

I am stacking 2 NL-210 vertically all the time except when on an extremely shaky stage or when I run 2xNL-210 + CXL112

I do two SVT 210av's vert stacked fairly often. Nobody does any stage diving on my gigs, and if they did I wouldn't use it, but it's pretty stable and has yet to fall over on me.

No problems here:

I stack Berg AE210s (installed extra feet on the "side"). No complaints.

I stacked two Markbass 210 travellers with the aniversary silver grills and the chrome faced LM III and it looked and sounded great! They seem pretty stable to me and the head is ligh and small enough that it doesn't look awkward

I use that setup very often, no stability problem.
If you want more details please surf a similar thread in wich there are also useful info on tone etc.

I used to vertically stack two GK Neo 112's. It was stable. Most cabs ave the interlocking corners so you can stack them either way.

Depends on the cab. Sonically it's an excellent idea.

Two Acme B-2's for me. IIRC, Bassman Paul uses the same rig to rock the great white north.

If you're using two 210s, stacking them vertically is the sonically correct configuration. No reason not to do it.

This has worked well for me, especially on a tight stage:

A friend of mine uses 2 2x10's stacked vertically.
Great projection out in the middle & back of a room.
Also hears himself much better he said.

Indeed I do Riis and I love 'em.

Thanks for all the positive responses. My main objective is to get the speaker high enough so I can hear myself. But I don't need to stack two 4x10 boxes - too much speaker (and too much weight).

Just need to find another Eden 2x10 and I can do the experiment on a limited budget....

Same here.

You can put your cab up on a chair and/or tilt it back some. Anyone who says you'll lose lows hasn't compared from out in the room. You get less bass relative to everything else on stage because you're hearing everything else better.

Summarising a post of Bill Fitzmaurice (missing ya big man)
2ft off floor, midrange 140hz (boom) takes a hit, this can be a good thing on a boomy stage.
3.5ft off floor 80hz drops away.

I owned the TC Electronic TS 210 for a while. It really is the only cab I would not recommend vertical stacking for. The cabs are very light, have rounded corners, and end up being a wee top heavy due to the tweeter built into the top/left driver. Further, it has no feet really and is covered in the duraliner stuff that will easily slide on tile or non carpet surfaces; especially if the floor wasn't perfectly level.
Cab sounded great but there were numerous wobbles that made me nervous to the point that I just sold them off.
I've vertically stacked 2 GK 2x12s and 2 Avatar 2x10s and loved the results.
